Abstract: | Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy. Photosystem II (PSII) oxidizes water to produce oxygen, electrons and protons under solar light irradiation. This light-driven water oxidation initiates a series of reactions in photosynthesis. Basic photoelectrochemical studies on PSII are directed toward the enzymatic applications of PSII for sustainable production of electricity or solar fuels. To maximize the photoelectrochemical catalytic activity of PSII on electrode substrates, interfacial designs between PSII and electrode substrates are important. Herein, we report bio-inorganic photoanodes of PSII and ferricyanide-intercalated layered double hydroxide (LDH) for visible-light-driven water oxidation. PSII is simply drop-cast onto a ferricyanide-intercalated cobalt-aluminum LDH and then shows a turnover frequency of 0.5 +/- 0.1 s(-1) and a turnover number of 920 +/- 40 for 1 h at pH 6.5 at thorn0.5 V vs. NHE under visible light irradiation. Photoelectrochemical experiments using a PSII inhibitor or a bio-engineered PSII suggest that interfacial electron transfer from the plastoquinone QA site of PSII to ferricyanide may play an important role in improving the photo-electrocatalytic activity and stability of PSII. Our studies will open up new possibilities in fundamental or advanced photoelectrochemical studies of PSII. (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
